Maybelline Baby Lips: Swatches & Review!

It seems that almost every drugstore brand has released a new moisturizing lip product lately, and Maybelline is no exception. The new Baby Lips products are a tinted moisturizing balm in stick form. These have SPF 20 in them so they are great to throw in a beach bag or have on hand during the warmer months!

Peppermint, Peach Kiss, Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Grape Vine

There are six total shades in the collection, two clear balms and four tinted balms. I figured I only needed one of the clear balms, so I passed on the sixth shade. I love the packaging and color schemes of these!

Peppermint, Peach Kiss, Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Grape Vine

I heard a lot of people say that these were supposed to be comparable to the Revlon Lip Butters, but I don't think they are really similar at all! The Revlon Lip Butters are more like sheer lipsticks in the sense that they pack a lot of color, but as you can see in the swatches below, the Baby Lips are quite a bit more sheer. You definitely won't get the same coverage from these that you would from a Revlon Lip Butter. However, these are really moisturizing and are great for a really nice subtle tint of color on the lips!

Peppermint, Peach Kiss, Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Grape Vine

Last, but not least, these smell AMAZING! Each balm is scented according to its shade name, and tastes like it too!

These retail for roughly $3 and should be available wherever Maybelline products are sold. These will definitely be a staple to have in my bag for when out I'm running errands or going to class because they are very natural looking and very moisturizing.

I've had these for a few months and I LOVE them! Even more than my Revlon Lip Butters! I think the colors are so pretty and they are SO moisturizing! I have very very dry lips so I apply the peppermint one after I exfoliate my lips and sleep with it on. The first time I did this I already felt and saw a difference. Peach kiss is my favorite color on my tan/olive skin tone but I think it would look great on anyone! I'm dying to get pink punch but it has been sold out of every store I've gone to for almost 2 weeks!

P.S. I hope you do a tutorial with the Maybelline 24 hour color tattoo eyeshadows!:)

Yeah, I love those too. They are so moisturizing and easy to wear. I think the Revlon lip butters may be more similar to them-I'd like to try them soon, but every time I go to the store, the one or two that I am interested in are always sold out!

I live in Brazil... it's even worse! We have Maybelline and other american companys here, but what would cost 6 Dollars in the US (aproximatedly 12 Reais, our currency), is almost 30 Reais!! It's awful! Well, at least we have it... :S

If we are lucky we can purchase it through the internet for at least 30-50 dollar shipping costs, with the big chance that we have to pay even extra when it reaches our border for importing.... Europe really sucks make-up wise. :(

My favorite moisturizing lip product is the EOS mint balm. Burt's Bees would have to be a close second. I also recently got some of the Revlon lip butters and have really been loving them for when I want moisture AND color.

I bought Peach Kiss and I love it! It's probably one of my most favorite lip balms now because it's not waxy or heavy on my lips, but it does moisturize, and the smell is HEAVENLY. I like that it doesn't get all gross or sticky on your lips. Love it.

i do love them but I am not a fan of the taste of tehm I have Peach Kiss, Grapvine and Pink Punch I wear the Peach Kiss most often as it is always in my car but ugh the taste is plastic and sick i wish it was differnt for that

Have you tried the Carmex Moisture Plus tinted lip balms? I have the peach, pink and plum tinted ones and I like them better than baby lips and revlon lip butters. Perfect amount of color, never sticky, feels like a dream on the lips! I'd love to hear what you think about them!

I absolutely love these and I don't think I every compared them to the Lip Butters because the pigmentation is so different. However I hate to say that I love these more than the eos. I still love eos but my peppermint makes my lips so much more moisturized, quicker than eos.

I like these..for me these arent comparable to the lip bitters either. Bit for sure smell delicious and are really moisturizing. I am from Puerto Rico and we have all tje stuff thats on the states but kinda late..like 1 month later..i saw everything on youtube and on blogs and got desperate checking at the drugstores everytime i go for these stuff. I am waiting for the maybelline tattoo eyeshadows and the loreal infallible ones. Nice post allison!

I read on another beauty blog that the "Quenched" balm (in the blue and pink tub) is supposed to taste/smell like lemon basil. I never would have guessed it, but it makes sense. That was the first one I bought.

The moisturizing effects of these lip balms don't last very long, and after several re-applications in a day, I found my lips getting flaky and peeling (I have somewhat full and dry lips). However, according to the advertisement in Cosmo, Baby Lips are supposed to make your lips smoother after a week or so of wear. After a few days of wear, I only had flakey lips on my bottom lip and very few. I found that my lips WERE smoother, even when I first woke up in the AM. I also found the Cherry color to be very pigmented and glossy

These have a lighter, smoother feel on the lips than the Burt's Bees tinted lip balms. But I love them both! If you're a lip balm junkie, definitely try one of these out. Pink Punch is actually quite pigmented and fun :)

I LOVE these! I got Cherry Me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss and I love all of them, especially Pink Punch, it's so pigmented! I live in the UK so I had to buy them on Ebay from a US seller so I paid a bit more but it was so worth it!
